Given all the advantages white males have in today's world because they are white males, this really should not be a big deal.
That's very nice. And I tell you that I am a white male, and I am not going to give anyone any special help or consideration for not being a white male. And furthermore, I take the demand that I should to be itself quite HIGHLY oppressive, especially if backed with force.
And why not? I didn't do anything to oppress non-whites or non-males. And if someone else chose to favor me because of my magic "white male privilege," that was their choice.
I ... only ... feel ... guilty ... for ... things ... I ... do. I do not feel guilty for things that others do. The reason why is that I only control my own actions -- not the actions of others.
The term for this is "responsibility." The term for accepting unearned guilt is "neurotic guilt."
